2018 Palomino pearl PRE gelding, standing approx 15.2

Morante is schooled to perfection on the flat, he’s got 3 balanced and uphill paces, always snaffle mouthed and responsive to the leg, he is always keen to learn and progress more.

He loves to jump and although still quite green in this area, he is keen to get it right and proves to be careful. He has been to arena hires and pops round sweetly, he doesn’t balloon his fences and he doesn’t stop. He has also jumped a range of hedges, logs & ditches out hacking, always ears pricked looking for the next.

To hack he is a delight, he is great in all traffic, he’s great in open spaces and he is very happy to hack first or last, you can leave him behind in a group and he’s totally unphased. We’ve spent a lot of time hacking him about the countryside and he’s been nothing but a pleasure, he remains in his usual rocking horse canter.

He has absolutely no ridden vices, he can be spooky on occasion, but it is very minor, usually only in a school environment and less so when he has adequate varied work and turnout.

On the ground Morante has a lovely nature, he doesn’t bite or kick, great to pick up all 4 feet, to groom & to bath. He is quiet to lead in & out, always comes when called in the field, mostly very quiet in his stable and loads and travels very well.
He doesn’t like to be on his own, however this has really settled in recent weeks with a consistent routine.

He would prefer a small herd environment and more turnout than stabling, he thrives on turnout. Prior to coming to me he was stabled mostly and only really schooled and therefore quite stressed, since being here he has had turnout every day and a varied workload and the change in him has been massive and more or less immediate.

He passed a full 5 stage vetting with a set of x-rays in July last year, bar 1 sarcoid on his sheath and a mark on his left eye.
His owners have had an eye specialist look into the eye, it was deemed a previous injury and not to be causing any issues at the present time.
Full reports of vetting, x-rays & eye specialist will be shared with any interested parties.

This boy really is special, he has all the looks and quality, alongside being a superb all round type and a wonderful nature. He is easy enough for a teen, but equally quality enough for a competitive home. He will excel in all spheres, he would enjoy a PC/RC home and smart all rounder.

Open to any vetting & viewings.
Up to date with wormer, farrier, dentist & vaccinations.
